Many people unknowingly make mistakes in their OCD recovery that keep them stuck in the same cycles of fear, doubt, and compulsions. In this episode, I share the five biggest mistakes I made in my own recovery—so you can avoid them. More importantly, I’ll show you what actually works instead.
🚨 What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✔️ The #1 mistake that keeps intrusive thoughts coming back stronger
✔️ Why constantly checking your progress actually slows recovery
✔️ How avoiding discomfort feeds OCD (and what to do instead)
✔️ The hidden trap of perfectionism in recovery
✔️ Why trying to do it alone makes things harder (and how support can help)
If you’ve ever felt like your recovery isn’t working, this episode is for you.
